Best Answer

The original Latin to the English phrase 'Thus always to tyrants' is the following: Sic semper tyrannis, which means Thus always to tyrants. The word-by-word translation is as follows: 'sic' means 'thus, so, in this way'; 'semper' 'always'; 'tyrannis' 'tyrants'. It is the state motto of the Commonwealth of Virginia, in the United States of America. And it is what John Wilkes Booth [May 10, 1838-April 26, 1865] announced on April 14th before assassinating 16th U.S. President Abraham Lincoln [February 12, 1809-April 15, 1865].
